Are you handloading? Interested in this as I'd like to hunt with my 1894 in .357.
I cast Lee 158 grain swc and have loaded them with 296. I powder coated the bullets.
Considering a new mold with a gas check too. I need to get a chrony to see what's really happening
Nice looking 1911 Slamfire.
I really like Greendot powder. We cast for 9mm and 38 special as well and I've used it for those loads also. We have a mold for 200 gr SWC as well. I've shot those with Bullseye powder but haven't loaded with Greendot yet. I would like to work up a load. I...
Thanks for the responses. I understand what you guys are saying about the mainspring/recoil spring difference.
As far as load data, I found the 4.3 gr load from Alliant. I have a copy of 2004 Alliant reloading guide and that is the load for 230 gr lead. I started 10% below that. I also...
Thanks Slamfire,
That's some great data you have there. I wonder what velocity I was getting with the 3.9 grains.
We would load 4.5 grains of Bullseye, 1.255 oal. It was a good round and you could feel the recoil.
I agree on the replacement of an old recoil spring. I guess I will...
Hi,
My brother and I have been reloading for pistol for several years now. We used Bullseye for quite a while but as we ran out of that I picked up some Greendot. We cast our own 230 grain round nose bullets. Alliant has a starting load of 3.9 grains for Greendot. I made up a box and we...
My son (7) and I watched the squirrel pot pie episode when you posted it and thought it was great. We just watched this one and the red squirrel one as well as the one about her new deer rifle. Great videos! Tell her thanks for making these and keep them up!
I have a K40. It doesn't do that so not normal to the gun. Hard to say what's causing it. I bought my K40 used and the ejector broke. I sent it back to Kahr and they fixed it at no charge (this was about 13 years ago). They may trouble shoot and take care of it for you.
I reload and as...
Holsters like that are great minimalist holsters and easy and comfortable to wear. I make them for myself and recently made one for my brother's Sig 938. One thing I have been adding is a piece of suede to the back. I notice that the gun would change cant as you moved around during the day...
The unibit is good for reaming metal holes. I've haven't used one on wood.
For the cost of a unibit you can usually get a small set of brad points for wood.
Having tools that are better suited for the job definitely makes it easier. You have done such a good job on making the grips and...
Valkman,
Beautiful ironwood and nice job on the grips. You do need to step the fastener holes as you've found out by now. It's easy to do though.
Usually I make patterns for the grips I'm going to make including hole locations and sizes required. The stepped holes can be made by using...

Just today, a stolen car in NYC with a baby in the back seat.
A spouse is an adult, a child in a car seat is incapable of almost anything and 100% relying on an adult for everything.

I sometimes wish I had bought my Ruger Vaquero in 45LC, but I bought the .357 instead because I already had a Marlin 1894 lever action in .357.
It was worth it.
You can buy an electroless nickel finishing kit. Caswell plating carries it. Not cheap. The small kit is $109, but I think it would do a revolver. I plan on trying it on an old Springfield model 84 rifle that I have. I have a Kahr with electroless nickel and it is a nice finish.
Eta it isn't...
What is it called when the administration announces it won't follow the law? I.e. they will not enforce immigration laws.. administrative disobedience?
